weird anouncing note 5 A before note 5 itself .... still i have high hopes for note 5 since the competition is tougher this year with lenovo k8 note going with high upgrade from helio p10 to x23 and dual cameras .

Redmi Note 5A is for the new markets Xiaomi is entering / planning to enter. Till now Redmi series are of 5 inches and Redmi Note series are of 5.5 inches.. So basically this is for a market which wants a phone between the Redmi & Redmi Note seri...
